## Pesachim Daf 84b

###### Pesachim 84b:1
[Pesachim 84b:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:1)

הַאי פָּסוּל. לְמַאן דְּאָמַר רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה — הַאי נָמֵי רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**this one is disqualified,** and the prohibition does not apply. However, **according to the one who says** that it depends on whether the offering is **fit for eating, this** offering that is brought in a state of ritual impurity **is also fit for eating,** and the prohibition of breaking a bone therefore applies.


###### Pesachim 84b:2
[Pesachim 84b:2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:2)

רַב יוֹסֵף אָמַר: כִּי הַאי גַוְונָא — דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם, דְּרַבִּי לְאַקּוֹלֵי קָא אָתֵי, וְהַאי הָא פָּסוּל הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Yosef said: In a case like this,** in which the Paschal lamb was brought in a state of ritual impurity, **everyone agrees that it is not subject to** the prohibition **of breaking a bone.** This is **because Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi only **came to be lenient, and this** offering **is disqualified** due to the fact that it is ritually impure, despite the fact that such an offering is accepted and therefore obligatory.


###### Pesachim 84b:3
[Pesachim 84b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:3)

אֶלָּא, הָיְתָה לוֹ שְׁעַת הַכּוֹשֶׁר וְנִפְסַל אִיכָּא בֵּינַיְיהוּ. לְמַאן דְּאָמַר כָּשֵׁר — הָא כָּשֵׁר הוּא. לְמַאן דְּאָמַר רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה — הָא הַשְׁתָּא לָאו רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rather, the practical difference between them is** with regard to a Paschal lamb that **had a time when it was valid and** then **became disqualified. According to the one who says** that the verse should be understood as indicating that the prohibition of breaking a bone applies only to **a valid** Paschal lamb, **this one is valid** and the prohibition applies. **According to the one who says** that the prohibition applies only to an offering that is **fit for eating, it is not fit for eating now,** and therefore the prohibition does not apply.


###### Pesachim 84b:4
[Pesachim 84b:4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:4)

אַבָּיֵי אָמַר: כּוּלֵּי עָלְמָא כָּל כִּי הַאי גַוְונָא אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם, מַאי טַעְמָא? הַשְׁתָּא מִיהַת הָא פָּסוּל הוּא. אֶלָּא, שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם אִיכָּא בֵּינַיְיהוּ. לְמַאן דְּאָמַר כָּשֵׁר — הָא כָּשֵׁר הוּא, לְמַאן דְּאָמַר רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה — הַשְׁתָּא לָאו בַּר אֲכִילָה הוּא,

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Abaye said: In any case like this, everyone agrees that it is not subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone. What is the reason? Now, at least, it is disqualified. Rather,** the *halakha* with regard to **breaking a bone while it is still day** on Passover eve **is the practical difference between them. According to the one who says** the verse should be understood as applying the prohibition to any Paschal lamb that is **valid, this one is valid** and the prohibition applies. **According to the one who says** the prohibition applies to a Paschal lamb that is **fit for eating, now it is not fit for eating** and therefore the prohibition does not yet apply.


###### Pesachim 84b:5
[Pesachim 84b:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:5)

מֵיתִיבִי, רַבִּי אוֹמֵר: נִמְנִין עַל מוֹחַ שֶׁבָּרֹאשׁ וְאֵין נִמְנִין עַל מוֹחַ שֶׁבַּקּוּלִית. עַל מוֹחַ שֶׁבָּרֹאשׁ מַאי טַעְמָא — הוֹאִיל וְיָכוֹל לְגוֹרְרוֹ וּלְהוֹצִיאוֹ. וְאִי סָלְקָא דַעְתָּךְ שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם שַׁפִּיר דָּמֵי — קוּלִית נָמֵי, נִתְבְּרֵיהּ מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם, וְנַפְּקוּהּ לְמוֹחַ דִּידֵיהּ, וְנִמְנוֹ עֲלֵיהּ!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**The Gemara raises an objection: Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi **says: One may register for** a Paschal lamb to eat **the marrow of the head, and one may not register for** the purpose of eating **the marrow of the thigh bone.** The Gemara clarifies: **What is the reason** one may register for **the marrow of the head?** It is **since one can extract it** from inside the head **and remove it** without breaking any of the bones, which is not the case with regard to marrow from the thigh bone. **And if it should enter your mind** to say **that breaking a bone while it is still day seems well,** Rabbi Yehuda HaNasi should hold that **we may break the thigh bone as well and remove its marrow, and** it should be permitted to **register for it.**


###### Pesachim 84b:6
[Pesachim 84b:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:6)

אָמַר לָךְ אַבָּיֵי: וּלְטַעְמָיךְ, מִשֶּׁחָשֵׁיכָה נָמֵי: נַיְיתֵי גּוּמַרְתָּא וְנַיחֵות עֲלֵיהּ וְנִקְלֵהּ, וְנַפְּקֵהּ לְמוֹחַ דִּידֵיהּ, וְנִימְּנֵי עֲלֵיהּ. דְּהָא תַּנְיָא: אֲבָל הַשּׂוֹרֵף בַּעֲצָמוֹת וְהַמְחַתֵּךְ בְּגִידִין — אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara responds: **Abaye could have said to you: And according to your reasoning, after nightfall** there is **also** a permissible way to consume the marrow of the thigh bone: **We should bring a coal, and place it on** the bone, **and burn it, and remove its marrow, and** therefore it should be permissible to **register for it, for it was taught** explicitly in a *baraita*: **But one who burns bones** of the Paschal lamb **and one who cuts sinews do not** transgress the prohibition of **breaking a bone.**


###### Pesachim 84b:7
[Pesachim 84b:7](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:7)

אֶלָּא מַאי אִית לָךְ לְמֵימַר — אַבָּיֵי אָמַר: מִשּׁוּם פֶּקַע, רָבָא אָמַר: מִשּׁוּם הֶפְסֵד קָדָשִׁים, דְּקָא מַפְסֵיד לֵיהּ בְּיָדַיִם — דִּילְמָא אָכֵיל נוּרָא מִמּוֹחַ דִּידֵיהּ. מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם נָמֵי, גְּזֵירָה מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם אַטּוּ מִשֶּׁחָשֵׁיכָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rather, what have you to say** in order to explain why one may not remove the marrow from the thigh bone by burning the bone? It must be due to a rabbinic prohibition. Why did the Sages enact this prohibition? **Abaye said:** It is **because** the heat might cause the bone to **burst** at a location other than where the coal is placed, which would be considered breaking rather than burning. **Rava said:** It is **due to ruining sacrificial food, as one** who burns a hole in the bone **ruins it actively** because **it is possible that the fire will consume some of its marrow.** Similarly, breaking a bone **while it is still day is also** prohibited due to rabbinic **decree.** The Sages prohibited the breaking a bone while it still day **due to** the concern lest one do so **after dark.**


###### Pesachim 84b:8
[Pesachim 84b:8](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:8)

רַב פָּפָּא אָמַר: כָּל כִּי הַאי גַוְנָא — כּוּלֵּי עָלְמָא יֵשׁ בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם. מַאי טַעְמָא? לְאוּרְתָּא מִיחֲזֵי לַאֲכִילָה. אֶלָּא, בְּאֵבֶר שֶׁיָּצָא מִקְצָתוֹ קָמִיפַּלְגִי. מַאן דְּאָמַר כָּשֵׁר — הָא כָּשֵׁר הוּא, וּמַאן דְּאָמַר רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה — הַאי לָאו בַּר אֲכִילָה הוּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Pappa said:** With regard to **any case like this, everyone agrees it is subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone. What is the reason?** It is because **at night it will be fit for eating. Rather,** it is **with regard to a portion of a limb** that **has gone out** of its permissible boundary and thereby become disqualified that **they disagree.** In such an instance, one removes the disqualified part in order to be able to eat the rest, and the Sages disagree about whether one may cut the bone. According to **the one who said** that the verse limits the prohibition of breaking a bone to a Paschal lamb that is **valid, this one is valid,** and it is therefore prohibited to break a bone. **And** according to **the one who said** the prohibition applies to any Paschal lamb that is **fit for eating, this one is not fit for eating,** and it should therefore be permitted to break its bones.


###### Pesachim 84b:9
[Pesachim 84b:9](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:9)

כִּדְתַנְיָא, רַבִּי יִשְׁמָעֵאל בְּנוֹ שֶׁל רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן בֶּן בְּרוֹקָה אוֹמֵר: אֵבֶר שֶׁיָּצָא מִקְצָתוֹ וּשְׁבָרוֹ — אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**As it was taught** in a *baraita* that **Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yoḥanan ben Beroka, says:** If **a portion of a limb has gone out** of its permissible boundary **and one broke it,** one has not transgressed. **It is not subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone. This is** in accordance with the view that the prohibition of breaking bones applies only to a Paschal lamb that is fit for eating.


###### Pesachim 84b:10
[Pesachim 84b:10](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:10)

רַב שֵׁשֶׁת בְּרֵיהּ דְּרַב אִידִי אָמַר: כָּל כִּי הַאי גַוְונָא דְּכוּלֵּי עָלְמָא אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם, דְּהַאי אֵבֶר הָא פָּסוּל הוּא. אֶלָּא, שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם בְּנָא אִיכָּא בֵּינַיְיהוּ. מַאן דְּאָמַר כָּשֵׁר — הָא כָּשֵׁר הוּא, וּמַאן דְּאָמַר רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה — הַשְׁתָּא אֵינוֹ רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Sheshet, son of Rav Idi, said:** With regard to **any case like this, everyone agrees that it is not subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone, as this limb is disqualified** and not merely unfit for eating. **Rather, breaking a bone** of a Paschal lamb **when** it is not yet fully roasted and still **raw is the practical difference between them.** According to **the one who said** the prohibition applies only to a Paschal lamb that is **valid, this one is valid,** and it is therefore prohibited to break a bone. **And** according to **the one who said** the prohibition applies to any Paschal lamb that is **fit for eating,** the prohibition does not apply to this offering because **now it is not fit for eating.**


###### Pesachim 84b:11
[Pesachim 84b:11](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:11)

רַב נַחְמָן בַּר יִצְחָק אָמַר: כָּל כִּי הַאי גַוְונָא יֵשׁ בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם, מַאי טַעְמָא דְּהָא חֲזֵי לַאֲכִילָה, דְּמַטְוֵי לֵיהּ וְאָכֵיל לֵיהּ. אֶלָּא, שְׁבִירַת הָאַלְיָה אִיכָּא בֵּינַיְיהוּ. לְמַאן דְּאָמַר כָּשֵׁר — הָא כָּשֵׁר הוּא, לְמַאן דְּאָמַר רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה — הַאי אֵינוֹ רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה, דְּאַלְיָה לְגָבוֹהַּ סָלְקָא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak said: Any case like this is subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone. What is the reason?** It is **because it is** still considered **fit for eating,** since one can **roast it and eat it. Rather, breaking** a bone in **the tail is the practical difference between them. According to the one who says** the prohibition applies to any Paschal lamb that is **valid, this one is valid** and the prohibition applies. **According to the one who says** the prohibition applies to any Paschal lamb that is **fit for eating, this is not fit for eating, as the tail** is consecrated **to God,** meaning that it is burned on the altar.


###### Pesachim 84b:12
[Pesachim 84b:12](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:12)

רַב אָשֵׁי אָמַר: כָּל כִּי הַאי גַוְונָא וַדַּאי אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם, דְּהָא וַדַּאי אֵינוֹ רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה כְּלָל. אֶלָּא, אֵבֶר שֶׁאֵין עָלָיו כַּזַּיִת בָּשָׂר אִיכָּא בֵּינַיְיהוּ. לְמַאן דְּאָמַר כָּשֵׁר — הָא כָּשֵׁר הוּא, לְמַאן דְּאָמַר רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה — בָּעֵינַן שִׁיעוּר אֲכִילָה, וְלֵיכָּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rav Ashi said: A case like this is certainly not subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone, as** the tail **is certainly not fit for eating at all. Rather,** the case of **a limb upon which there is not an olive-bulk of meat is the practical difference between them. According to the one who says** the prohibition applies to any Paschal lamb that is **valid, this is valid,** and the prohibition applies. **According to the one who says** the prohibition applies to any Paschal lamb that is **fit for eating, we require the** minimal **measure of** meat that would constitute an act of **eating, and there is not** enough meat on this bone; therefore, the prohibition does not apply.


###### Pesachim 84b:13
[Pesachim 84b:13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:13)

רָבִינָא אָמַר: כׇּל כִּי הַאי גַוְונָא לֵית בֵּיהּ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם, דְּבָעֵינַן שִׁיעוּר אֲכִילָה. אֶלָּא, אֵבֶר שֶׁאֵין עָלָיו כְּזַיִת בָּשָׂר בְּמָקוֹם זֶה וְיֵשׁ עָלָיו כְּזַיִת בָּשָׂר בִּמְקוֹם אַחֵר אִיכָּא בֵּינַיְיהוּ. לְמַאן דְּאָמַר כָּשֵׁר — הָא כָּשֵׁר הוּא. לְמַאן דְּאָמַר רָאוּי לַאֲכִילָה — בָּעֵינַן שִׁיעוּר אֲכִילָה בִּמְקוֹם שְׁבִירָה, וְהָא לֵיכָּא.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Ravina said: Any case like this is not subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone, as we require the** minimal **measure** of meat that would constitute an act of **eating. Rather,** the case of **a limb upon which there is not an olive-bulk of meat in this place and there is an olive-bulk of meat in another place is the practical difference between them. According to the one who says** the prohibition applies to any Paschal lamb that is **valid, this one is valid,** and it is prohibited to break a bone. **According to the one who says** the prohibition applies to any Paschal lamb that is **fit for eating, we require the** minimal **measure** of meat that would constitute an act of **eating in the place of the break, and there is not** enough meat there. Therefore, the prohibition of breaking a bone does not apply.


###### Pesachim 84b:14
[Pesachim 84b:14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:14)

תַּנְיָא כְּאַרְבְּעָה מִינַּיְיהוּ. דְּתַנְיָא, רַבִּי אוֹמֵר: ״בְּבַיִת אֶחָד יֵאָכֵל ... וְעֶצֶם לֹא תִשְׁבְּרוּ בּוֹ״, עַל הַכָּשֵׁר הוּא חַיָּיב, וְאֵינוֹ חַיָּיב עַל הַפָּסוּל.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
The Gemara points out that **it was taught** in a *baraita* **in accordance with four of** the interpretations cited above. **As it was taught** in a *baraita* that **Rabbi** Yehuda HaNasi **says:** The verse **“In one house shall it be eaten…and you shall not break a bone in it”** (Exodus 12:46) teaches that **one is liable for** breaking the bone of **a valid** Paschal lamb, **and one is not liable for** breaking the bone of a **disqualified** Paschal lamb.


###### Pesachim 84b:15
[Pesachim 84b:15](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:15)

הָיְתָה לוֹ שְׁעַת הַכּוֹשֶׁר וְנִפְסַל בִּשְׁעַת אֲכִילָה — אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת עֶצֶם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If **it had a time in which it was valid and it became disqualified at the time of eating, it is not subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone.** This supports the opinion of Rav Yosef.


###### Pesachim 84b:16
[Pesachim 84b:16](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:16)

יֵשׁ בּוֹ שִׁיעוּר אֲכִילָה — יֵשׁ בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת עֶצֶם, אֵין בּוֹ שִׁיעוּר אֲכִילָה — אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת עֶצֶם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
If **it has the** minimal **measure** of meat that would constitute an act of **eating, it is subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone; if it does not have the** minimal **measure** of meat necessary to constitute an act of **eating, it is not subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone.** This supports the opinion of both Rav Ashi and Ravina.


###### Pesachim 84b:17
[Pesachim 84b:17](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:17)

הָרָאוּי לַמִּזְבֵּחַ — אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**That which is fit for the altar,** such as the tail, **is not subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone.** This supports the opinion of Rav Naḥman bar Yitzḥak.


###### Pesachim 84b:18
[Pesachim 84b:18](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:18)

בִּשְׁעַת אֲכִילָה — יֵשׁ בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת עֶצֶם, שֶׁלֹּא בִּשְׁעַת אֲכִילָה — אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת עֶצֶם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**At the time of eating, it is subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone; when it is not the time for eating, it is not subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone.** This supports the opinion of Abaye.


###### Pesachim 84b:19
[Pesachim 84b:19](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:19)

אִיתְּמַר: אֵבֶר שֶׁאֵין עָלָיו כְּזַיִת בָּשָׂר בִּמְקוֹם זֶה וְיֵשׁ עָלָיו כְּזַיִת בָּשָׂר בִּמְקוֹם אַחֵר, רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר: יֵשׁ בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם, רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ אָמַר: אֵין בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת עֶצֶם.

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**It was stated** that the *amora’im* argued about the following matter: In the case of **a limb upon which there is not an olive-bulk of meat in this place** in which one breaks the bone, **and there is an olive-bulk of meat in a different place,** has one violated the prohibition of breaking a bone? **Rabbi Yoḥanan said: It is subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone. Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish said: It is not subject to** the prohibition of **breaking a bone.**


###### Pesachim 84b:20
[Pesachim 84b:20](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Pesachim/r/84b:20)

אֵיתִיבֵיהּ רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן לְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ: ״וְעֶצֶם לֹא תִשְׁבְּרוּ בּוֹ״ — אֶחָד עֶצֶם שֶׁיֵּשׁ עָלָיו כְּזַיִת בָּשָׂר, וְאֶחָד עֶצֶם שֶׁאֵין עָלָיו כְּזַיִת בָּשָׂר. מַאי אֵין עָלָיו כְּזַיִת בָּשָׂר? אִילֵּימָא דְּאֵין עָלָיו כְּזַיִת בָּשָׂר כְּלָל — אַמַּאי יֵשׁ בּוֹ מִשּׁוּם שְׁבִירַת הָעֶצֶם?! אֶלָּא לָאו, הָכִי קָאָמַר: אֶחָד עֶצֶם שֶׁיֵּשׁ עָלָיו כְּזַיִת בָּשָׂר בְּמָקוֹם זֶה, וְאֶחָד שֶׁאֵין עָלָיו כְּזַיִת בָּשָׂר בְּמָקוֹם זֶה וְיֵשׁ עָלָיו כְּזַיִת בָּשָׂר בְּמָקוֹם אַחֵר (— קַשְׁיָא לְרַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן לָקִישׁ)!

**William Davidson Edition - English:**
**Rabbi Yoḥanan raised an objection to Reish Lakish** from a *baraita*: The verse states: **“And you shall not break a bone in it,”** which indicates that the prohibition applies to **both a bone upon which there is an olive-bulk of meat and a bone upon which there is not an olive-bulk of meat. What** is the meaning of the phrase: **Upon which there is not an olive-bulk of meat? If we say that it does not have an olive-bulk of meat on it at all,** it is not fit for eating at all. **Why,** then, **is it subject to** the prohibition against **breaking a bone? Rather, is it not** true that **this is what it is saying:** The prohibition applies **both** to **a bone upon which there is an olive-bulk of meat in this place, and** to a bone **upon which there is not an olive-bulk of meat in this place and there is an olive-bulk of meat in a different place?** This poses **a difficulty to** the opinion of **Rabbi Shimon ben Lakish.**
